They et their vltuls 'thout a kick And thought they was in luck to get ’em : They didn’ t rnind the’r bread cut thick, And as for crusts, they alwus et ’em.

DM TM RR The treatment of Catarrh w i t h antiseptic and i astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes or any external or local application, is ja m just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these g ive temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are ^ thrown hack upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, ‘¿ Jar producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, in volvin g the Stomach. Kidneys and other parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant rin gin g in the ears. N o remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure blood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve under its tonic effects.

Ripans Tabules are a common s-ns«.:, effectual cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, heartburn, headache, con stipation, dizziness and all disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. They are intended for the use of men, women and children everywhere, aud have proved beneficial in the majority of cases. It is not claimed that they will perform miracles, but some of the cures which they have effected amount almost to that. Easy to take and prompt in action, they have no rival as the best remedy for the every-day ills of humanity. _________ A M E D IC IN E W H IC H PRO LO NG S L IF E . “ I hav« used Ripans Tabules lor a number r*f yrars and would not be without them.
